Cape Town - The North Gauteng High Court has granted the government partial leave to appeal its earlier ruling last month striking down the country's much-criticised disaster regulations as irrational and unconstitutional.
Judge Davis had found the minister failed to weigh regulations to ensure there was a rational connection between the restrictions imposed and the state's aim of seeking to contain a severe health threat to the population. In his judgment, Judge Davis gave Dlamini Zuma 14 days to review the regulations in line with the rationality test.
These were regulations 33, 34, 35, 39, and the exceptions to regulations 46 and 48. They pertain to limitations on exercise, the ban on visiting parks and beaches, the prohibition on vigils and prescriptions on the degree of family relations at funerals.
